Researchers identified regions, such as Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Central America, as most vulnerable to record-breaking heatwaves, emphasizing the need for action plans to…
Massive iceberg discharges during the last ice age had no impact on nearby Greenland, raising new questions about climate dynamics. Heinrich Events, massive iceberg discharges…
The mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalayas has been significantly underestimated due to satellite limitations, with major implications for projections of glacier…
The 51-square kilometer (20-square-mile) pileup is an important yet poorly quantified part of the carbon cycle, scientists say. Throughout the Arctic, fallen trees make their…
Bronze-age underwater volcanic deposits are helping researchers understand the size, hazards, and climate impact of massive caldera-forming eruptions. The findings will guide the development of…
Impacts of potent greenhouse gas: a bit lower than previously thought. UC Riverside researchers found that methane not only traps heat in the atmosphere but…
How do clouds shape the planet’s future? Clouds are not just fluffy white shapes in the sky. They are vital for regulating the earth’s climate,…
Despite the availability of satellite technology, a simple 19th century tool called the Secchi disk is still useful for ocean scientists to measure the concentration…
Smoke Particles From Wildfires Can Erode the Ozone Layer MIT chemists show the Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020. A…
Across the planet, ice is rapidly disappearing. From mountain tops, the poles, the seas, and the tundra. As the ice melts, it’s exposing new surfaces,…
Twenty-seven global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models, have…
This winter, ice cover in the Great Lakes Basin has hovered at unusually low levels. The Great Lakes have been unusually ice-free so far this…
A new report warns of many risky climate feedback loops and the need for action in both research and policy. It was written by an…
Accurate climate models play a critical role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers throughout the world as they consider ways…
Why does climate change matter? Well, it’s happening. We look at the Earth from space and we measure it on the ground. And what we…
A case study involving Europe’s largest coal-fired power plant shows space-based observations can be used to track carbon dioxide emissions – and reductions – at…
In 2022, Earth was about 1.11°C (2°F) warmer than the late 19th century average. Earth’s average surface temperature in 2022 tied with 2015 as the…
